James Laton, a young man who claims
Des Moines ns his home, ncted as his own
counsel before Judgo Aylcsworth In police
court yesterday morning, to the charge ot
stealing u rlng-tcstlng stono from tho pawn
shop of Henry Lapldlus on West Broadwnv.
Iaton had been fully Identified by Lapldlus
as tho thief. When Lapldlus was on the
stnnd, Laton propounded thU question to
him:
"Would you swear that 1 am dresied tho
same way now as 1 was when 1 stolu the
stono?"
Tho court smiled, but the young man
failed to notice that he had practically ad
mitted the theft.
Laton, when placed on the stand and ex
amined by Assistant Attorney Kimball, de
nied bolng tho thief and said: "Now, It Is
not likely that I took this stone, because
when 1 left the pawnshop I met several
police ofllcers, and if I had been the thief
they would surely have arrsted me right
then and there, and not waited until the
next day.
Latin's logic did not have weight with
tho court. Judge Aylesworth concludud he
wns guilty and sentenced him to ten days
In the county Jail. The value of the stone
was $1.50.

tion Is to take effect January 1 or sooner If

to ro with my decision Is that 1 have grown
weary under the strain of heavy burdens,
and I find that my resources are not suffi
cient to copo successfully with tho situa
tion as I find It In this church. And I
cheerfully vacate my ofllce and commend
you to the leadership of some experienced
man who will come fresh from another field
and with resources that nre Inexhaustible."

Wilson ns to his future plans, but It li

Mrs. L. A. Harris, a Prominent Member
of a Chicago Woman's Political Club, tells
how Ovarian Troubles may be Cured with
out a Surgical Operation. She says :
" Doctors have a perfect craze for operations. The minute
there is any trouble, nothing but an opera; Ion will do them; one
hundred dollars and costs, and included in the co3ts arc pain, and
agony, and often death.
" I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles ; spent hundreds
of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was
my only chance of life. My sister had been using jLydiiiE. Pink
ham's Vegotivolo Compound for her troubles, and been cured,
and she strongly urged mc to let the doctors go and try the Com
pound. I did so as a last resort ; used it faithfully with the Sana
tive Wash for five months, and was rejoiced to find that my troubles
were over and my health restored. If women would only try Lydia
K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound first, fewer surgical operations
would occur." Mrs. L.A.Harris, 278 KastOlst St., Chicago, 111.
